How to Reach the IICTN Mumbai Centre
The IICTN head office and training centre is at 201, Shri Nityanand CHS Ltd, Swami Nityanand Marg, near Gokhale Bridge, Andheri East, Mumbai – 400069. Andheri is one of the best-connected points in the city: Andheri railway station on the Western line is a short ride away, and Gokhale Bridge makes the centre easy to reach from Andheri West as well. Students coming by Metro can use the Andheri East stretch of the network along the Western Express Highway, and the domestic airport at Vile Parle is only a few kilometres away — convenient for out-of-town students flying in for short workshops.
Because of this location, IICTN Mumbai draws students from every corner of the Mumbai Metropolitan Region — Borivali, Malad and Goregaon on the Western line; Dadar, Bandra and South Mumbai via quick connections; Kurla, Ghatkopar and Thane from the Central side; and Navi Mumbai, Vasai–Virar and Kalyan on planned batch schedules. If you are travelling from outside Mumbai, call +91 83697 91736 and the admissions team will help you plan the most practical batch pattern before you visit.
Out-of-city students also travel to Mumbai for the intensive workshops — the compact formats make it practical to stay in the city for a few days and return home with a new certified skill, and Andheri East’s hotel belt near the airport makes short stays easy to arrange.
Why Mumbai Is India’s Biggest Beauty Career Market
No Indian city offers more places to build a cosmetology career than Mumbai. The city is home to the Hindi film and television industry, a year-round calendar of fashion shoots, advertising campaigns and celebrity events, and one of the country’s densest networks of salons, bridal studios and wellness centres. Five-star hotels and premium spas across the city hire trained skin and hair professionals, while the bridal season keeps makeup artists and cosmetologists booked for months at a stretch.
For IICTN students this means real, local demand for every specialisation taught at the Mumbai centre — skin aesthetics and laser work in premium salons and aesthetic studios, trichology consultations for a stressed urban clientele, and freelance bridal and editorial makeup across the MMR. Many graduates also launch home-based or on-call services, a model that works particularly well in Mumbai’s apartment-dense suburbs. IICTN’s placement assistance connects students to this market, and the institute’s two decades in the city (since 2005) mean an alumni network spread across Mumbai’s salons and studios.
